People waiting to get into the gates.  And unlike many other Field days they had Free entry.

This is an over the head shot of one isle of AgQuip.  We were about half way down the isle so there were the same amount of people behind me too.

This is a slasher (lawn mower) which is pulled behind a tractor.  It has a cutting width of 10.6m (or 35' in the old money) which is the equivalent of 23 domestic lawn mowers operating side-by-side.  It requires no less than 200hp to pull it so your average farmer will not be able to manage it with his 90hp John Deere.  And it's all yours for a mere $51,000 without the tractor (oh, and that includes GST).  Tom tells me they're working on a 50' model at the moment which should be ready by Christmas time AND the 35' model they had on display had already been bought by an Esperance gentleman who has 2 already and who has ordered one of the 50' models.  Apparently the wheat farmers in Esperance are very similar to Texans - they like everything BIG.
In real terms, if all my customers were in a straight line I could mow 230 lawns a day and earn a massive $9660 per day and still be home by 4pm.  And that's just the 35' model!

This cotton harvester is 2 stories tall and the 6 spotlights along the top of the cabin are bright enough to play a game of soccer under on a half-size soccer field.  The cabin is air-conditioned and there is a seat on the ladder side of the cabin for you to have someone in the cabin with you if you so desire.  "Denise, do you want to come cotton picking with me for 12 hours?"
The machine is nick-named Cotton Express but I thought it might be more apt to call it yer cotton-pickin' varmint or sometin'.

The V8 lawnmower.  Just a sales ploy...

This big truck is actually an enormous fertiliser spreader.  (mark is salivating)  It can hold 6 tonnes of fertiliser and have it all spread in around 45mins to an hour.  If I filled it with lawn food and all my clients lived in properties with firm ground all next door to each other, I could earn $153,000 per day (assuming a 10-hour day and no discount for bulk-buying fertiliser).
